Sk7 was over a large brush fire that threatened at least 50 homes in the Oakland Hills near I-580 on Tuesday.

The homes are on Bayview Drive, Skyview Drive, Ridgemont Drive, Viewcrest Drive and the 13650 block of Campus Drive, Oakland police said shortly after 1 p.m.

Merritt College at 12500 Campus Drive was also evacuated and classes have been canceled, according to the school's website.

Cal Fire spokeswoman Pam Temmermand said shortly after 2 p.m. that the blaze is considered 50 percent contained but that the homes are no longer threatened since there are no active flames on the hillside.
